Spay and Neuter

Help eliminate shelter crowding and unnecessary euthanasia by spaying and neutering your pets, and by always adopting shelter animals vs. buying from pet stores. TEAM often underwrites community media campaigns that urge the public to always spay, neuter and adopt.

March, 2018: Thomas, a two month old puppy, was brought into the Bradshaw Shelter as a suspected vehicle accident victim. However, upon further examination it was discovered that Thomas is the victim of animal abuse and had been deliberately hit in the head with an object similar to a hammer.

UPDATE: Thomas the Puppy As of Friday, March 16th at 2:00 pm – we have raised $12,500 towards Thomas’ surgery and aftercare!

Thomas is doing well the morning after surgery, resting comfortably in the ICU. He still has some swelling, which is totally normal after his surgery. He did stand up and move around a bit. He will remain in the ICU for another day or two and then be moved to intermediate care.

In a continued effort to care for and find justice for Thomas, T.E.A.M., Bradshaw Animal Shelter’s non-profit, is offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person(s) that hurt Thomas. T.E.A.M. is not only committed to getting Thomas the best treatment and care, but to hold responsible those who caused his injury.

In addition to the YouCaring fundraiser, the T.E.A.M. Board of Directors have posted a reward for $1,000. Any funds leftover from the total amount raised during this campaign after paying for Thomas’ surgery and aftercare, will be added to the reward amount in the newly established ‘Thomas the Puppy Fund’. In the event no arrest is made, the additional money raised will be used to help animals like Thomas, who are similarly deserving of medical procedures and the costs associated with finding their abusers and bringing them to justice.

To report any information that may be related to Thomas’ case, please call 3-1-1. ... See more

T.E.A.M. (Teaching Everyone Animals Matter) Help us give our sweet Thomas a fighting chance at life!

UPDATE: Thomas the puppy post op status We have some happy news to report on sweet puppy Thomas! Thomas’ surgery was a success considering the complexity of his injury. All non-viable soft tissue in his head was removed, as well as all but one of the bone fragments that were pressing against his brain.

The piece that was left, had a large vessel attached to it and was too risky to remove. The hole in his skull was reconstructed with a titanium mesh, leaving room for growth as he gets older. Parts of his brain had dead tissue, those areas were removed and healthy tissue was spotted growing underneath.

While Thomas does still have a large defect in his brain from the injury, his young age and the brain’s high capability for repairing itself, along with the aid of the surgery gives us hope for recovery. While he will likely make a physical recovery, his long-term neurological prognosis and associated functions are still unknown.

Thomas will remain in the ICU for several days while his condition is monitored and the complexity of his long-term care is assessed. He is resting peacefully in the ICU under careful watch, but he did give us a half eye open glance to let us know he feels our love! ... See more
